New push–pull biphenyl-azopyrrole photoswitches are efficiently obtained via a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction, give rise to J-type aggregates in binary MeOH : H2O solvents and undergo a water-assisted cis-to-trans isomerization at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
